My Depressive Mind

Sleep

I can't breathe
All I get is water
I'm being pulled back under
Bubbles full of hope float away from me towards the freedom of the surface
I can't seem to find the energy to move
I relax and watch the light grow further and further away from me
I'm gently floating down
My arms and legs relax
My hair plays in the current
The water caresses my skin
Welcoming me into its comforting embrace
I smile
I can rest now
In peace
My eyes slide shut and the air in my lungs is replaced with the silky liquid that supports my barely present body
Finally
I don't have to wake up
